What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Kaanchi movie is a musical thriller with a love story. It is a story of the inner power of a woman who represents millions of suppressed youth against unjust in the country. It is also the story of an innocent rural beauty and her fight against power.
